Summary

It's a classic case of quality vs quantity, mixed with self-awareness. Maybe you ARE focused on having the most followers, and that's fine, but my goal here isn't numbers - it's impact. Hope you take this one to heart <3

specifically, this interesting vlog concept I have for documenting for the next

0:17.2

20, 30 years of every day of my professional career, and how fun it is that

0:22.4
